Easy Update - Wallpapering the Back of a Bookcase

It's another snow day here in New York. We really got a ton of snow this time. Being stuck in the house so much has given me a chance to do some little projects around the house that I might not otherwise get around to doing.

As you know we just painted our dining room a lighter and brighter color. There is a small bookcase built into the columns that separate the living room and dining room.

I decided to take the bookcase from ordinary to something a bit more special.

I started by emptying out the bookcase. It turned out the bookcase needed a little touch-up so I pulled out the paint and painted the shelves.

Next I used temporary wallpaper I had left over (which is the same wallpaper that I used to cover the DIY magazine holders).

It only took a few minutes for this update.

I had already edited what was going back before I decided to add the wallpaper, so it was easy to put everything back.
